Fast forward 1.5 years into this journey, reached 1 million. Starting to see growth slowing down a bit. Need to network with other sellers more and scale harder.

SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

A guy scanned an entire house with his phone. Uploaded it.

Now anyone on Earth can walk through it in a browser tab. No app. No VR. No agent. No appointment.

Click → you’re inside. Every room. Every angle. Every shadow. Photoreal.

The numbers are insane:

- Agent fee on a $500k home: $15,000
- Cost to make this scan: ~$200
- Time to “tour” 50 houses: one evening
- File size: smaller than a TikTok

The science is wild too:

It’s called 3D Gaussian Splatting instead of polygons (how games render), it uses millions of tiny glowing “splats” of color and depth.

AI reconstructs reality from your photos. The result loads on a phone and looks like you’re THERE.

The grift opportunity is even wilder:

Freelancers are already charging $300–$800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues, car dealers, museums.

One person + one phone + one weekend = a business.

Can't even count how many times an Amazon customer has bought a brand-new item from us and returned a knockoff or switched out their old beat-up version

Here's exactly how to handle return fraud for FBA and FBM:

1. FBM where Amazon already refunded (most common for FBM sellers)

If Amazon auto-refunded at the first scan or you missed your 4-day window after the item came back to you, you have to fight for your money back via a SAFE-T Claim.

You now only have 30 days from the date of the refund to file.

State that the item has Zero Resale Value. Upload your photos comparing the original listing vs. what was returned.

If Amazon offers a 50% reimbursement, appeal it. State that "Partial reimbursement is insufficient for a materially different item that cannot be resold."

2. FBM Option 2: You still have the money

As of early 2026, you have a 4-calendar-day window to inspect a return before Amazon auto-refunds the buyer. Do not just click "Refund."

Use the Guided Refund Workflow (GRW) inside Manage Returns.

If the item is "materially different" (wrong brand, used version, or a brick), select that reason and deduct up to 100% of the price.

You MUST upload clear photos showing the fraud next to the shipping label.

Message the buyer before you finalize: "We received the incorrect item. We’ve paused the refund to find a resolution. Are you able to return the item you purchased from us soon?" This message is your best defense if they file an A-to-z claim. Doubtful it ever becomes a real conversation.

3. FBA

With FBA, you don’t see the fraud until the item is sent back to your warehouse via a Removal Order.

You have 60 days from the delivery of your removal order to file a dispute.

The "6-Side Rule": To win, you need photos of all 6 sides of the item, the LPN (or X00) label, and the removal packing slip. The LPN label is what proves which specific customer committed the fraud.

File under FBA Inventory Reimbursement > Removals. Use the phrase: "Removal order [ID] contains a materially different item with zero resale value."

4. If you're feeling like messing with the buyer back...

Amazon lets you flag their account for eventual suspension if this is a pattern for them.

The 2026 Click-Path:

Go to Performance > Account Health.

Click "Report an abuse issue"

Select "Report a buyer violation" > "The buyer returned a different item."

Include the Order ID and the LPN number from the return.

met a woman in marbella making $68,000/month replying to google reviews

not writing them
not getting them

replying to them

"thank you for your kind words we appreciate your feedback"

340 times a month

340 property management clients paying her $200/month each

to type slightly different versions of "thanks for the review"

no ads, website, content or personal brand

she sends one cold email:

"you have 50 google reviews and havent replied to a single one. every unanswered review costs you roughly 9% of potential tenants. want me to handle all your review responses for $200/month?"

thats the pitch

thats the whole business

one stat that scares property managers turned into $68K/month

she hired 2 VAs in the philippines at $600/month each to do the actual replies

total overhead: $1,200

net profit: $66,800/month

from replying to google reviews

heres why nobody competes with her:

the task is so boring that nobody thinks its a business

no one wakes up and says "i want to build a company that replies to google reviews"

but every property manager knows they should reply and never does because its low priority and tedious

$200/month is nothing to a company collecting $50-200K in rent

but unanswered reviews silently eating their occupancy rate is a real problem

she didnt sell a service but the removal of a task they were too busy to do themselves

at a price so low that saying no felt dumb

and the churn is almost zero because who cancels a $200/month service that runs itself

the formula:

- find a boring recurring task every business in one niche ignores
- prove it costs them money to ignore it
- charge so little the decision is automatic
- deliver with cheap labour so margins stay above 90%
- stack hundreds of clients because nobody cancels

same formula that built the $2.4M/year dentist compliance business

same formula running the $3.1M portable toilet empire

the most profitable businesses are always the ones nobody wants to brag about

stop building things that sound cool on twitter

start finding the boring task nobody will do for the wealthy customer who will gladly pay to never think about it again

get a Google Workspace account before setting up your GBP. Google trusts you more.

your business name on your GBP has to match your LLC. if you get suspended and the docs don't match, you're done.

fill your GBP description to the 750 character limit. include your keyword and service areas naturally.

if you don't have a physical address on your GBP, you are fighting an uphill battle you will likely lose.

write your own Q&As on your profile. include keywords in the answers.

reviews from local guides are worth more than reviews from random accounts.

reviews with photos and detailed descriptions carry more weight than "great service 5 stars."

do not get 30 reviews in one day. spread them out. a few per week looks natural.

avoid reviews from people with the same last name. Google catches that fast.

avoid reviews from people who have never been anywhere near your city. those get flagged.

don't let every review say the exact same thing. variation matters.

your meta title format should be keyword | brand name. example: Las Vegas DUI Attorney | Smith Law Group.

every city you want to rank in needs its own dedicated page on your website. one page for one city. no exceptions.

do not use the same generic copy on every location page with just the city name swapped out. Google sees right through it. mention landmarks, neighborhoods, things specific to that area.

stop redirecting exact match domains to your main site and wondering why nothing happens. build a real site on it.

if your competitor has an exact match GBP name and more reviews than you, plan on doubling your effort to beat them.

get yourself listed on Uber. one of the most underrated citations you can build.

have real photos on your site. not stock images. Google wants to see that you actually exist.

create an about us page with real names and real pictures of your team.

create a terms page and a privacy policy page. trust signals matter.

build social media profiles even if you never post. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. the backlinks from these platforms tell Google you are a real brand.

add schema markup so Google knows exactly who you are, what you do, and where you operate.

turn on driving directions to your office every time you drive there. every single day. have your employees do it too.

if someone ranking above you has a DR of 0, you can beat them with a handful of quality backlinks and some focused effort.

check your competitor's backlink profile in AHRefs. sort by date found. if they aren't acquiring new links every month, they are sitting ducks.

do not sign up with a mega agency. you will be a number. the person running your campaign will be fresh out of college making 40k a year. find someone who actually gives a damn.

do not fire your SEO agency at month 3. you didn't give them enough time. 6 months minimum.

do not pay for SEO services on Fiverr or Upwork. there may be exceptions but the odds are not in your favor.

if your agency is building you backlinks, ask them what their indexing strategy is. links that Google never crawls are completely worthless.

if your agency is bragging about how many keywords you rank for, they are probably ranking you for blog content that will never convert. ask them how many transactional keywords you rank for.

if you own multiple businesses in the same area, link the homepages to each other. homepage links are the most powerful links in Google's eyes.

invest in professional photography for your GBP. click through rate is a ranking factor. better photos mean more clicks. more clicks mean better rankings.

respond to every single review. positive and negative. Google is watching how fast you reply.

upload photos and videos to your GBP weekly. Google wants to see that you have a pulse.

include your keyword and location in every single GBP update. "just finished a beautiful roof replacement for our customer in Scottsdale" beats "check out our latest project" every time.

fill out the product section on your GBP with your services even if you don't sell physical products.

your phone number needs to be visible on your website above the fold. do not make someone scroll to find out how to call you.

build your website for mobile first. more than half your traffic is on a phone.

500 words of quality copy on each service page. hit your keyword in the H1, the meta title, and the URL.

80 to 90% of your backlinks should point to the homepage. it looks the most natural.

use branded anchor text for the majority of your links. it is the safest and most effective strategy. do not spam exact match anchors or you will wreck your site.

do not build two pages targeting the same keyword. Google gets confused and ranks neither.

make sure every page on your site is indexed. if Google can't find it, it doesn't exist.

check for 404 errors weekly. broken pages kill trust.

if Reddit is ranking above you for your target keyword, you have serious work to do.

get listed on Bing. ChatGPT and Perplexity are pulling from it. this is no longer optional.

get listed on Yelp with a fully built out profile. LLMs are citing Yelp constantly when people search for local services.

On 4/15/24, I received my last W2 paycheck as we sold our company (I was CFO). But for the 6 months prior, I was already building the foundation for my next company.

This journey has been rewarding, but very difficult. I feel like I've turned the corner, but not before:

- Drained my savings to fund every deal
- Sold my car to fund a deal
- Liquidated stock monthly to support fam
- Had my first child
- Missed time with newborn son (work travel)
- Lost 20% of my capital on 5th deal
- Lost sleep over personal guarantees
- Faced rejection from investors and lenders

I share this not to complain, but to offer a reality check. The overnight success stories usually skip this chapter.

If you are in your own Valley of Death right now, keep going and embrace the suck! 🛠️

There are 4 pillars in the Amazon business:

The first most important thing in this AMZ business is your Prep Center.

2nd thing- Sourcing.

3rd thing- Seller board and great systems to avoid leakage in the business.

4rd thing- Repricing.

All extremely important. You can’t have one without the other.

This can’t be stated enough into words.

If I were to run an audit on your store, I would find gaps in these 4 things.

Fix these gaps, fix your profits.

You can’t operate a successful store without these pillars running smoothly with one another.
